NHS Highland Board November 2019 Item 6 CHIEF EXECUTIVE AND
NHS Highland Board November 2019 Item 6 CHIEF EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTORS REPORT – EMERGING ISSUES AND UPDATES Report by Iain Stewart, Chief Executive The Board is asked to: • Note the updates provided in the report. Introduction from CEO The engagement strategy which is helping to shape the ‘Culture Fit for the Future’ has been moving ahead. Fiona Hogg will be giving a detailed update on our progress with our Culture Programme later in the agenda. I am pleased with the progress which is being made, it’s a long-term piece of work which needs careful research and planning to make sure we understand the problems we need to address. There are some key milestones being achieved and presented at this Board meeting. A governance structure is in place and our revised plans are ready to be agreed and rolled out. Many of the actions planned have been shaped by our ongoing engagement with the Board and with our colleagues across North Highland and Argyll & Bute and I’m delighted that our impending review in Argyll & Bute is going to provide further valuable insights and information. In terms of the cost improvement programme, we continue to make good progress, with the current level of identified opportunities valued at £29M which when adjusted for the likelihood of delivery reduces to £22M. Of particular note is that 80% of the forecast savings are recurrent so the savings gain will benefit future financial years. Workstreams are ensuring the remaining plans in this financial year are approved, that ideas are progressed to plans and that changes already implemented go on to deliver the expected savings.

NHS Highland
NHS Highland Meeting: NHS Highland Board Meeting date: 26th January 2021 Title: Culture Progress Update Responsible Executive/Non-Executive: Fiona Hogg, Director of HR & OD Report Author: Emma Pickard, External Culture Advisor 1 Purpose This is presented to the Board for: Discussion This report relates to a: Board strategy / plan This aligns to the following NHS Scotland quality ambition(s): Safe Effective Person Centred 2 Report summary 2.1 Situation Work on the Culture Programme progresses under the guidance of the Culture Oversight Group. Prior to the Christmas break, the six Culture priority leaders met to discuss the programme plan for 2021. This included any requirement for adjustments to respond to the recent increase in COVID transmission and impact on the system across NHS Highland. Progress will continue across all six priorities, but activities requiring significant front-line engagement (for example, the roll-out of the NHS Highland vision and values) may need to be adapted or amended to ensure that elements requiring broader organisational engagement are scheduled when there is capacity to do this effectively. There is also progress being made outside the formal programme plan, including the Healing Process, Guardian Service and Employee Assistance Programme and preparation for the launch of the national Whistleblowing Standards in April 2021. Page 1 of 11 2.2 Background The reformed Culture Oversight Group has now met three times (October, November and January) and is operating well; with good organisational representation and delivery accountability embedded across operational units. The purpose of this paper is to provide an update on the overall status of the Culture programme; each of the Culture programme priorities and the key risks related to delivery.

Highland Health Board
NHS Highland Board 31 May 2016 Item 4.9 UPDATE ON MAJOR SERVICE REDESIGN PROJECTS Report by Gill McVicar, Director of Operations (North and West), Georgia Haire, Deputy Director of Operations (South and Mid) and Maimie Thompson (Head of PR and Engagement) on behalf of Deborah Jones, Director of Strategic Commissioning, Planning and Performance The NHS Highland Board is asked to: • Consider the proposals to redesign services for the North Coast (Sutherland), approve that the changes constitute major service change; endorse the pre- consultation work and options appraisal process and approve the draft consultation materials; • Note the update on progress with developing the business case for major redesign of services for Badenoch and Strathspey 1. Background and summary Services provided by the NHS need to change to ensure they meet the future needs of the changing population, particularly the increasing ageing population of Scotland and the number of people with long-term health conditions. There are additional challenges facing NHS Highland linked to geography, recruitment, staff retention and in some cases history. In addition there is a pressing need to develop more community services, facilitate greater community resilience and modernise and rationalise our estate. Notably at the time the major service change projects got underway in 2012/13 the backlog maintenance was some £70million. As set out in NHS Highland’s 10 year operational strategy, work is ongoing to transform models of care and services. The transformations of services
